-Our next studio guest

-is Gwyneth Davies...

-..the Volunteer Coordinator at

-the National Library in Aberystwyth.

-Welcome to the programme, Gwyneth.

-Thank you.

-Tell us more about your volunteer

-scheme that started in 2012.

-The scheme is called

-Helping Us To Achieve.

-I started at the same time.

-We have about 50 volunteers.

-The National Library

-has won an award in volunteering.

-In 2016, the National Library...

-ARA Volunteering Award.

-We have an array of volunteers...

-..of all ages.

-About a third of our volunteers have

-retired from jobs...

-..and there's another group of

-students.

-This is great for their CV.

-The final third is of people who

-can't find work...

-..or are unable to work from day to

-day.

-People can learn so much as a

-volunteer.

-They can learn about

-communicating...

-..whilst learning about the

-workplace environment.

-Some of them like to work on the

-computer.

-We've got some volunteers who do a

-lot of transcribing.

-Some people prefer to do something

-practical.

-This can help the staff of the

-library.

-People have been volunteering to

-work from home.

-It's called crowd sourcing.

-We hope that in June...

-..we hope to upload some of our

-pieces online.

-Our volunteers can help in this

-process.

-It opens a new world for the

-National Library.

-People think that libraries

-are old fashioned.

-This has changed.

-There are places where you can be

-quiet and work...

-..but you can also hold events and

-we have a group for children.

-Schools also visit us.

-It's an exciting time for us.

-We're writing our strategy for the

-next few years.

-You still need volunteers.

-Yes, that's right.

-They don't have to be based

-in Aberystwyth.

-Those interested in being a

-volunteer at the National Library...

-..can visit the National Library

-website for details on volunteering.

-There's an application form for

-people to complete.

-Keep an eye on the website for all

-the developments.

-Thank you, Gwyneth.

-After the break, Llio Silyn, Rhian

-Morgan and their little friends...

-..chat about their latest production

-called Bwci Bo.

-There's also an update on Eirlys's

-makeover from Huw and the team.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Next, we're joined by Llio Silyn

-and Rhian Morgan.

-as part of our Gossip Girls...

-..but is here to chat

-about a special production.

-Yes, Bwci Bo!

-Tell us about the show and all these

-items that are a part of it.

-I'll give you a quick rundown

-of what we've done for six years.

-We've toured the whole of Wales

-with community-based shows...

-..about Welsh women in history.

-The first was a general one about

-women and the second was heroines...

-..and this one is about the spirits

-of Wales.

-Yes, the female spirits

-and superstitions of our country.

-You're called Dim Ond Dwy

-and there's only the pair of you.

-Yes, it's us, two chairs

-and a box of tricks.

-These are some of the characters

-who feature in the show.

-We have some strange

-and terrifying masks...

-..other props and a corpse candle

-but this is our favourite.

-Yes, it's the Witch of Rhibyn.

-The Witch of Rhibyn

-dates back to the Celtic era...

-..and the time of bears and wolves.

-She was said to have flown...

-She was said to have flown...

-

-..over the moorland and mountains.

-Anyone who happens to be

-walking along by themselves...

-..she calls to them,

-they walk towards her and...

-Argh! They fall to their death.

-That's a lesson to avoid keeping fit

-and going for a walk alone!

-The Witch of Rhibyn

-is one of the characters.

-This belongs to a tragic tale of

-the spirit of the Nannau Estate.

-Some of the spirits

-represent more than fear.

-The stories often portray an attempt

-by a community...

-..to justify something horrific

-that happened in that community.

-This young girl was murdered

-on the Nannau Estate in Dolgellau...

-..that was owned

-by the Vaughan family.

-Come and see the show if you

-want to know who killed her!

-The murderer was never punished

-because he was so important.

-The locals knew the culprit so they

-created the story of this spirit.

-There's more to these stories

-than at first glance.

-These are either true stories

-or fables from local areas.

-In the last 15 years,

-many books have been published...

-..in both Welsh and English

-about the spirits of Wales.

-We heard about the spirit

-of Adelina Patti at Craig-y-Nos.

-Did you know there's a spirit in the

-toilets at Castellamare in Mumbles?

-It's in the gents!

-It's in the gents!

-

-I haven't been in the gents.

-Meryl Morts makes an appearance.

-Meryl Morts makes an appearance.

-

-Yes, and she finds that spirit.

-People can invite you to locations

-to perform this show.

-Yes, it's a show that's suitable

-for small societies.

-We've been to groups

-of Merched y Wawr and Y Wawr...

-..in Talybont, Lampeter

-and are venturing to North Wales.

-There's also historic groups.

-There's also historic groups.

-

-Yes, of men and women.

-It's part of the Night Out scheme

-by the Arts Council of Wales.

-Registered groups or charities can

-get a grant to pay for this show.

-You don't need a stage.

-You don't need a stage.

-

-No, just two chairs.

-And the space that's about the size

-of this area.

-We'll even perform it in a cafe.

-It's friendly, funny,

-entertaining and educational.

-I'm sure you adapt it

-for each performance.

-Yes, there's a few ad-libs.

-It's lucky you're good friends

-as there's only the pair of you.

-Yes, we share a car,

-ideas and a lot of other things.

-Yes, and get to stay

-in nice places too.

-The show is on tour so people

-can invite you to perform.

-You can contact me on Facebook

-under the name of Llio Davies...

-..or via Siop y Pentan

-in Carmarthen.

-People can also contact us

-and we will pass on your details.

-Good luck with you and I hope that

-witch doesn't kill you on the tour.

-I've got another story about her

-but that can wait until next time!

-Give our best wishes to Meryl Morts

-in the gents toilets too.

-Let's see how it's shaping up

-in the makeover corner with Huw.

-It's going very slowly because

-these two have barely touched her...

-..but they've been chatting over

-some coffee.

-It's important to chat to a client.

-Yes, it gives me time

-to look at the hair...

-..and see if there's any kinks

-so that I know what is possible.

-I'm not an expert on hair

-but I can see that it's quite fine.

-Yes, so I'll use some products

-to give the hair some volume.

-It shouldn't be too heavy

-for the hair.

-Heavy products

-will drag the hair down.

-Yes, it'll be flat

-and the roots will be quite greasy.

-Eirlys hasn't got a lot of hair.

-No, it's quite short but I'll neaten

-the cut and add a few curls.

-We're going to use the straighteners

-to create a curl!

-It's your favourite apparatus.

-It's your favourite apparatus.

-

-Yes, that's right.

-It's been an unusual fortnight,

-Patricia.

-Last week, a teenager

-was having a makeover.

-We know Eirlys has a big birthday so

-will you have to adapt the make-up?

-Last week, I focused on make-up for

-teenagers and those in their 20s.

-I had cream blushers and

-cream eye shadows for young skin.

-People tend to get it wrong

-when they have mature skin...

-..and they use the cream blushers

-and eye creams.

-Why should people with mature

-skin avoid the creams?

-It exaggerates the lines

-on the face.

-We want to hide those lines

-when we reach a certain age.

-This palette is the best

-for Eirlys's skin.

-It's very matte.

-What do you usually use?

-I wear foundation,

-blusher and lipstick.

-Do you stick to the same products?

-I change the eye make-up

-to match the colour of my clothes.

-You've got a lot of colours

-that would suit many things.

-These can match an array of colours.

-We spoke about the colours

-that any age can use.

-The same is true for the colours

-of the blusher...

-..but it's important to use matte

-powder with mature skin.

-I look forward to

-when you start work... hint, hint!

-Later, we'll show the clothes

-and the completed look.

-We look forward to seeing

-the results later in the programme.

-Would you like a makeover

-or know of someone worthy of one?

-Call us on 01554 880 880

-or email [email protected]

-We welcome questions for Huw

-or any of our other experts...

-..as well as your stories

-or adverts for your events.

-Write to Prynhawn Da, Tinopolis,

-Park Street, Llanelli, SA15 3YE.

-We look forward to hearing from you.

-There's still plenty to enjoy today

-in a matter of minutes.

-Welcome back.

-In a moment, Lorna Mason chats about

-her most prized possessions.

-We also reveal the results

-of Eirlys's makeover...

-..in preparation for her birthday

-next week.

-Last week, over 100,000 people in

-schools, universities and clubs...

-..took part in Sign 2 Sing

-that raises money for Sign Health.

-Ysgol Gymraeg Ffwrnes joined the

-campaign so we went to meet them.

-# Would you hold out your hand? #

-Sign 2 Sing raises funds for

-those with hearing difficulties...

-..via the signing

-of one special song.

-We've been rehearsing and recorded

-the song, Together for Sign 2 Sing.

-For the first time, Ysgol Gymraeg

-Ffwrnes is part of the event...

-..to raise money for deaf people

-in the United Kingdom and Uganda.

-Everyone has worked hard and this

-shows the talents of the pupils.

-We have a signing club so this

-events supports those workers too.

-We've been singing Put Your Hands Up

-today.

-It's a song

-about people who can't hear.

-I know a lot of deaf people

-so am learning to speak with them.

-What's that?

-What's that?

-

-It's red.

-Caio is one of those children.

-The school, his twin and big brother

-help him to grow in confidence.

-Caio could hear when he was born

-but has had to have hearing aids.

-If they can't talk, they can sign

-so everyone knows what they want.

-Kirsty Davies is the school's

-sign language teacher.

-One child used sign language

-when Kirsty came to the school.

-She has a special relationship

-with Ellie.

-Ellie isn't deaf

-but she has Down's Syndrome.

-She's used sign language

-since starting school.

-She doesn't use it all the time

-but it gives her confidence.

-There are signs around the school

-and a club to help the children.

-We do a lot of things, play games

-and learn a lot of new things.

-I've learnt the animals, colours

-and a lot of other things.

-You've promised me a lesson

-so my name is spelt H-A-N-A.

-What's H?

-Is that A?

-Is N like this?

-And it's back to A.

-So that's H-A-N-A.

-Do you enjoy it?

-Do you enjoy it?

-

-Yes.

-It's great to see the children going

-to the club.

-We use sign language in our

-assemblies and classrooms...

-..to help those children

-through school.

-The children have also made a video

-or iMovie.

-The film can be seen on the Sign

-Health website and school's website.

-At first, only one child

-in the school could sign...

-..but everyone can do it now and

-I'm very proud to be a part of this.

-Thank you.

-# We are better off together

-if we only try #

-It's a very worthy cause.

-Next, we have the prized possessions

-of a lady from Snowdonia...

-..who currently resides in Furnace

-in the Dyfi Valley.

-Lorna Mason,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-I'm originally from Ysbyty Ifan

-in Snowdonia.

-I went to school in Llanrwst.

-I work at The National Screen

-and Sound Archive of Wales...

-..based in the National Library

-in Aberystwyth.

-I've worked at the National Library

-for over 25 years.

-I work on a lot of projects.

-The National Library is full of maps

-and other documents.

-I've just started with the archive.

-I spent 20 years working on the art

-collections in the National Library.

-You're here today to chat about

-your prized possessions.

-The first item is an egg cup.

-The egg cup belonged to my mother

-and she was given it as a child.

-We call it an "ecob" which is

-a colloquial term for the egg cup.

-Mam was very upset

-when the egg cup broke.

-I don't know how they fixed it...

-..because super glue was very

-expensive at the end of the 1940s.

-It was very valuable to my mother.

-It's seen better days.

-Mam was very happy when it was

-fixed.

-I store it a cupboard.

-There's also a print

-by Kyffin Williams.

-Kyffin Williams was a great friend

-of the National Library.

-He started working with the

-National Library...

-..when he was a teacher in London in

-the 1940s.

-Kyffin Williams left his studio to

-the National Library.

-There were hundreds of pencil

-sketches...

-..oil paintings, diaries and much

-more.

-I met him about three times.

-When he opened his mouth, he didn't

-sound like a Welshman...

-..because he spent a lot of time in

-London...

-..but he loved Wales.

-He was so proud of his sons

-Welsh names.

-I was part of the team who emptied

-his studio...

-..following his death in 2006.

-I locked the doors of his studio for

-the last time.

-All his work has been catalogued.

-Next year marks the centenary of

-Kyffin Williams' birth.

-We hope to have an exhibition

-about this.

-We've got

-an important photograph too.

-The photograph is of my boys

-when they were skiing.

-The photograph represents a lot

-of things that are important to me.

-Family life is very important.

-I love the mountains.

-I think it's important

-to keep healthy.

-My sons are Harry and Gruff.

-Gruff now farms on my parents' farm.

-That was how Eirlys looked earlier.

-Let's take a look at Eirlys now.

-You look incredible.

-Are you happy with your new look?

-Yes, it's amazing.

-I look much younger.

-Tell us about the clothes, Huw.

-I promised not to have anything to

-do with Valentine's Day.

-But I ended up choosing pink!

-It's all over the shops at the

-moment.

-It's great with navy.

-Eirlys is tall and slim.

-The clothes suit her well.

-I wouldn't usually choose this

-jacket.

-It gives more colour to the face.

-What about the hair, Ruth?

-I've got some curls.

-It adds some texture to the hair.

-It transforms you.

-I feel younger.

-What make-up did you use, Patricia?

-It's a very pale palette.

-I've stuck to the greys and pinks on

-the eyes.

-I've stuck to the matte colours.

-Matte colours are great on the lips.

-I hope I can do this again.

-There's a large bag for the

-presents.

-Yes, that's right.
